Original Title: Shocking Truth Behind the "Zero Growth" in Hubei Exposed by WeChat Journalist! Tragedy Should Not Repeat Itself!
Hubei has achieved "zero growth" for two consecutive days, and the epidemic is developing in a positive direction, which has relieved everyone. Some netizens have posted on their friends' circle to raise questions and prevent a rebound. The editor has confirmed the authenticity of this text and specially published it below.
The epidemic situation in Hubei is developing in a positive direction, achieving zero growth for two consecutive days, which has relieved everyone. However, while the situation is good, I want to inject a dose of reality into you.
Sometimes, what you see in the media may not necessarily be the truth, or they may not tell you the whole story.
Journalist's Personal Experience
The following text is the personal experience of a mainstream media journalist in Hubei: "The Most Unforgettable Day." When Hubei announced two consecutive days of "zero growth," he wrote about the process of treating three patients from early morning to evening on March 19th and posted it in a friend's group.
Let's see what he experienced on his most unforgettable day.
My Most Unforgettable Day
At three o'clock yesterday morning (March 19th), the first family I went to at Hubei Provincial People's Hospital was a family of three from Fangyingtai Community. The father and mother were diagnosed and admitted to the hospital (initial diagnosis at the East Campus of the Provincial People's Hospital), and the daughter was suspected to be in a cabin hospital. After being cured and isolated at home for 2-3 days, the mother developed symptoms again.
Several designated hospitals in Wuchang District refused to admit them (possibly to avoid affecting the data, counting as a new case), so they were sent to the East Campus of the Provincial People's Hospital by 120 at three o'clock in the morning.
The Provincial People's Hospital is no longer a designated hospital and refused to admit them, so they were stuck at the fever clinic. We called 120 again, but they ignored us.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after we finished organizing and returned to the community, we heard that the community had no way to help. I privately contacted Tang Qizhu, the director of the Provincial People's Hospital, by phone and WeChat, but I didn't get a timely response. So I had to rush to the East Campus of the Provincial People's Hospital with Gege. The family of three patients had been stuck there for 13 hours and was on the verge of collapse.
The doctor at the fever clinic said that the mother's CT symptoms were even worse than the first visit. However, the fever clinic was not a designated hospital and couldn't admit them.
After contacting Director Tang Qizhu by phone, the coordinated 120 arrived in time. Director Tang agreed to accept them at the East Campus, and 120 took them there.
The ambulance ran ahead, and we were worried about the situation at the East Campus, so we followed the car and arrived at the East Campus.
At the entrance of the East Campus, the cadres stationed by Donghu High-tech Zone stopped us outside the hospital, saying that people from Wuchang District could only go to the fever clinic in Wuchang District Hospital and couldn't go to the fever clinic in Gaoxin District. After coordinating for a long time, they finally let us into the East Campus of the Provincial People's Hospital.
Only after entering the hospital did we know that 120 had taken the family of three to the fever clinic at the East Campus. The fever clinic refused to admit them because they hadn't received any notice. We communicated with the doctor at the fever clinic again. The family became emotionally unstable, and we kept comforting them.
We urgently contacted Director Tang Qizhu, but he didn't answer the phone. We repeatedly coordinated with the doctor and the director of the clinic, showing them the WeChat message I sent to Director Tang. Finally, the director of the clinic agreed not to register the mother at the fever clinic (to reduce the number of fever clinic records) and directly admitted her to the hospital.
The father and daughter, who had no symptoms at the moment, registered at the fever clinic and underwent nucleic acid testing at 11 o'clock in the evening. To ensure that they could come back, we coordinated with the community to send a car to pick them up at night.
After this trip, I was deeply moved.
The situation where recovered COVID-19 patients relapse and have difficulty being readmitted to the hospital is not an isolated case. Last night, I contacted the Hubei Provincial Health Commission at the Provincial Command Center to reflect the need to improve the admission process as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be clustered infections within the community, especially when everyone has relaxed their vigilance, which could lead to a major incident.
This journalist's unforgettable day reveals the following information:
-
Currently, some hospitals in Wuhan are unwilling to accept patients, or they are unwilling to accept patients from other districts, resulting in patients being unable to be admitted for testing. The reason is to protect their own hospital's numbers.
-
Some discharged patients have been reinfected after returning home. How many such patients are there? The official has not announced it yet, and there is no accurate data. The situation of retesting positive has been mentioned several times by experts like Zhong Nanshan before, and the rate of retesting positive was once around 14%, or even more than 20% in some hospitals. To achieve zero growth in data, the rate of retesting positive has not been mentioned by the media in the past week.
-
Previously, some media and doctors questioned whether the "zero growth" was to quickly resume work under political pressure. Is it really like this? Netizens generally feel that since the epidemic situation in Wuhan has been brought under control, the official statement is still "the situation is severe." This has confused netizens: where is the severity? Is there something difficult to say?
While the above netizens were posting, there were also some different voices in their friends' circle. For example, the two screenshots below indicate that there may be many things we don't know.
Information Revealed by Two Images
01 The first screenshot
On March 20th, Hanjiadun Street in Wuhan issued an emergency notice, the content is as follows:
Important Notice
Last night, there were new cases in Lishui Kangcheng Campus again. We remind residents to go out less, avoid gatherings, wash hands frequently, wear masks, reduce shopping, reduce going out, and continue to persist.
According to the analysis of the notice: On the night of the 19th, new cases were added in Wuhan. However, these cases were not included in the data for March 19th and 20th because the official data for these two days showed zero growth.
02 The second screenshot of chat records
Netizen @XX posted on March 19th at 5:43 pm: Tongji Hospital (Note: Referring to Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology) confirmed more than 100 cases yesterday, and the Railway Hospital confirmed one case. The district mayor stayed in the hospital for a night, but it was not reported, and if reported, they would be dismissed.
Netizen @XXXX replied: It's nonsense to reset to zero for the sake of resuming work. The people of Wuhan are suffering, but once the higher-ups leave, the lower-level officials will cause trouble.
Many people have such chat records and screenshots saved on their phones. From the two screenshots above, we can draw the following information:
On March 19th, at least Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Hospital, Railway Hospital, and Hanjiadun Street community discovered pneumonia patients. However, the official statistics for the 19th and 20th showed zero growth.
Why did the official statistics show zero growth while netizens said there were new cases? The two have different perceptions of the numbers.
There could be three explanations: First, these newly discovered patients were not diagnosed or even suspected patients, so they couldn't be counted in the data; second, the netizens who posted and the street community were lying; third, the official data was lying.
The voices of the people are also a kind of voice, and you should listen patiently. Especially when Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Hospital confirmed more than 100 cases on the 19th, the contrast with the zero growth data is so significant.
The official should come forward to explain: Is this true or false? If netizens are spreading rumors, the official should come forward to refute them and hold the rumor-mongers accountable.
Let's not let the tragedy repeat itself!

@Wuhan Release: The personal experience of a mainstream media journalist in Hubei, "My Most Unforgettable Day," which revealed the situation of new confirmed cases in Wuhan, is not true.
The article spread information about "two new confirmed cases in Rose West Garden Community," "new cases in Lishui Kangcheng Community," "more than 100 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Tongji Hospital," and the situation of Mrs. Liu from Fangyingtai Community being delayed in receiving treatment at the Provincial People's Hospital. The main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee attached great importance to this and instructed relevant units to quickly investigate and verify the specific situation as follows:
- On March 20th, there was a circulated notice from Rose West Garden Community in Hanyang District stating that "Unit 116 has two new confirmed COVID-19 cases, and the unit is being sealed off." After investigation, it was found that one patient in Unit 116 of Rose West Garden was diagnosed on March 6th and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital; the other patient tested positive on March 11th and is currently in isolation and recovery at a designated facility. Neither of them is a new confirmed case.
- In the afternoon of March 20th, there was a circulated notice from Hanjiadun Street Comprehensive Community about "new cases in Lishui Kangcheng Community." After investigation, it was found that Zhang, a resident of the community, was an asymptomatic carrier. According to the "Notice of the General Office of the National Health Commission on Issuing the Sixth Edition of the Prevention and Control Plan for COVID-19," Zhang is not a confirmed case.
- On March 19th, a netizen spread the news in a WeChat group that Tongji Hospital had more than 100 new confirmed cases of COVID-19. After inquiring and verifying with Tongji Hospital and the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Command of Qiaokou District, it was found that all positive cases detected by nucleic acid testing at Tongji Hospital were reported online in accordance with the law and regulations. There have been no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the main campus, Optics Valley campus, or Sino-French New Town campus of Tongji Hospital recently.
- The situation of Mrs. Liu from Fangyingtai Community seeking treatment at the Provincial People's Hospital. After investigation, it was found that Mrs. Liu had been admitted to the Optics Valley campus of the Provincial People's Hospital for treatment and recovery after being diagnosed with COVID-19. On the early morning of March 17th, around 2 o'clock, Mrs. Liu developed symptoms such as cough and difficulty breathing. Her daughter contacted 120 and sent her to the Provincial People's Hospital for treatment. The hospital conducted a CT scan, which showed "consideration of viral pneumonia, slightly increased compared to before; new bilateral pleural effusion, incomplete lung expansion." Her nucleic acid sample was taken at around 10 o'clock in the morning. As the nucleic acid test takes several hours, the Provincial People's Hospital was unable to provide a definitive diagnosis during the waiting period. Mrs. Liu was placed in an observation ward. Since the Optics Valley campus of the Provincial People's Hospital is no longer a designated hospital for COVID-19, she was transferred to the Optics Valley campus that evening. Her nucleic acid test on the 19th was negative. On the 19th, the hospital conducted another nucleic acid test, which was also negative. Currently, Mrs. Liu is receiving treatment in the hospital. During the admission process, due to the lack of a confirmed diagnosis, it was difficult to classify and handle the case, so she could only be placed in the observation ward. Therefore, the waiting time was long, and during this period, no violations of regulations or mutual deferrals were found.
In recent days, the number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan has been zero, and all medical institutions and CDCs have reported the data objectively and truthfully in accordance with the law and regulations.
